In addition, motorists are reminded of the following ongoing travel restrictions related to the Turnpike widening project:
- Alternating right lane closures are planned on weekdays from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, in both directions on N. Gulph Road between 1st Avenue and U.S. 202 in Upper Merion Township, Montgomery County for overhead bridge construction; and
